Cub3D, developed in C with MinilibX, draws inspiration from classic first-person shooters like Wolfenstein 3D. It immerses users in a 3D maze environment using ray-casting for real-time rendering. Project challenges included parsing scene descriptions, rendering textured walls, implementing player movement controls, and efficient window management, and as a bonus a small 2D minimap, for localize you in the maze.
This project is the sequel to a first successful collaboration between Stephane Payeur and myself — apparently lightning does strike twice! — showcasing our ability to deliver outstanding outcomes ;).
- Real-time 3D Rendering: Utilizes ray-casting to display a 3D perspective within a maze environment.
- Texture Mapping: Differentiates walls based on cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) using specified textures.
- Player Controls: Allows movement (forward, backward, strafe) and camera rotation (left, right) via keyboard inputs.
- Dynamic Window Management: Handles window events such as minimizing, restoring, and closing smoothly.
- Makefile: Compilation and project organization.
- PixelTexturePack/: Organized texture pack by type.
- basic.cub: A map file to use with the executable.
- includes/: header file cub3d.h.
- libft/: Library with utility functions in C.
- miniLibX/: MiniLibX for window management and rendering.
- srcs/: Project source code, organized into functional modules.
Ensure MinilibX is installed along with required system libraries:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev
sudo apt-get install libbsd-devCompile the project using the provided Makefile:
makeRun the program with a .cub file specifying the map:
./cub3D path_to_your_map.cubEscape exit cleanly
Left Arrow: Rotate left
Right Arrow: Rotate right
W: Move forward
S: Move backward
A: Move left
D: Move right
